Transforming Health Care

Since October 2014, eight construction cranes — moving in precise choreography — have presided over UT Austin's most intense building effort in decades: the construction of the future Dell Medical School and transformation of the medical district that will surround it.

Discovery Starts Here

Creative Campus

Ride a roller coaster of love, march toward war or brave the perils of the sea during performances of Shakespeare’s plays at Winedale. A cast of students is spending the summer studying the Bard’s work and bringing the plays to life.

Classroom Experience

The UT System has recognized 11 UT Austin faculty members for performance in the classroom and dedication to innovation in undergraduate instruction. Each honoree will receive $25,000, one of the nation's largest monetary teaching awards in higher education.
